Heart Failure Affects More Than 5.8 Million Patients

Heart disease is the number on killer in the United States. Nearly 787,000 people in the U.S. died from heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases in 2011. That’s about one of every three deaths in America. About 2,150 Americans die each day from these diseases.

established the clinical problem that heart failure is associated with high morbidity and poor prognosis (Hobbs, et al., 2007). She further added that it decreases patients’ quality of life as it places a heavy burden on them, as well as their families, as well as the huge negative impact on health care resources (Iqbal, et al, 2010), contributing to lost productivity from unplanned hospital admissions. The authors presented the research problem strongly, stating that there is a limited study of the role of specialized heart failure nurses in the multidisciplinary team in managing heart failure patients, thus warranting a further investigation to be conducted. Special nurses, as defined by Glogowska et al, are experienced senior nurses who are involved in providing medical, psychological and emotional support that begins at the initial diagnosis of heart failure and continues onward. They provide transitional care in assisting patients manage their heart failure. The research article focus on the experiences and perceptions of clinicians in managing heart failure patients, and it aims to understand the special role of specialized heart failure nurses in the interdisciplinary team. The authors designed to answer the following questions when conducting this study:

Heart failure is a major health problem worldwide, but especially in the United States. The CDC estimates that over 5.7 million Americans are living with heart failure, and that

The objectives of heart failure and cardiomyopathy education training are to help patients and their families get the learning, aptitudes, methodologies, critical thinking capacities, and inspiration vital for adherence to the treatment arrangement and support in self-care (American Heart Association, 2011). Moreover, the education will include recognition of signs and symptoms of heart failure, activity and exercise recommendations, compliance with medications, daily weight monitoring, and specific diet

There are numerous health disparities and issues worldwide affecting all different people in the United States. Some of these issues tend to affect our population. Many people lack the knowledge of how heart disease is developed. Heart Disease is the leading cause of deaths. Over 600,000 Americans die from heart disease each year. Anyone can develop heart disease, regardless of a person’s age, gender, and ethnical background. In some cases, people are born with heart disease.

According to the Heart Foundation (2010), “Best-practice management of chronic heart failure (CHF) involves multidisciplinary care” (p. 3). A care coordinated with his different physicians including cardiologist, pulmonologist, and referring physicians, as well as clinical nurses, and dieticians will be an important step in Mr. P’s CHF care. As they are concerned about the mobility outside of their home, a telephonic follow-up after discharge from the hospital, and door delivery of medicines could be beneficial. It is also very important to help him to overcome his polypharmacy. Since Mrs. & Mr. P seem emotionally weak, they need emotional support to cope up with the situation. They are worried about the heaping medical bills. Provide information about the possibility of getting qualified for Medicaid/Medicare as well as grants from organizations like Patient Access Network

In the United states some people may think that Cancer is leading cause of death in the united states, but Coronary heart disease has killed more people than cancer has. Coronary Heart Disease damages people in many different ways, all of which are deadly.

Heart disease is of great concern and is one of the killer diseases in America today. Tentatively, one million people, both men and women die every day from cardiovascular disease, one death is recorded in every thirty three seconds. (Herat 2013). The number of deaths recorded from myocardial infarction and Congestive Heart Failure is more than that recorded from cancer and Aids joined together. Research suggests that cardiac diseases will be the number killer disease nationwide by the year 2020. (Heart 2013).

Heart failure (HF) is a debilitating chronic illness that affects a considerable portion of the elderly population. This disease is complicated by its intermittent episodes of decompensation and progressive cardiovascular deterioration both of which have a tremendous impact on a person’s quality of life. Greatly influenced by medication and treatment non-compliance,

My Community action is about heart diseases that killed most people in Atlanta, Georgia than any other diseases even in the whole nation. Between 70% and 89% of sudden cardiac events occur in men and about 8.5% of all white men, 7.9%can black men, and 6.3% of Mexican American men have coronary heart disease-(CDC). Heart disease usually give warning before it got worse like chest pain or discomfort, upper body pain or discomfort in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or upper stomach.

Situation-specific theory of heart failure self-care is the basis for this study. The theory explains that supportive educative – patient can meet self -care requisites, but he /she needs the knowledge to accomplish the task (Riegel, Dickson, & Faulkner, 2016). This theory explained three processes involved in heart failure self-care; The first self-care process is maintenance, it entails behaviors such as treatment adherence. The second self-care process is symptom perception, it involves body listening, monitoring signs, as well as recognition, interpretation, and labeling of symptoms. And the third self-care process, management, is the response to symptoms when they occur (Riegel, et al. 2016). This theory establishes that utilizing of productive

In 2013, the Florida Department of Health reported 23.4 percent of adults aged 65 and older were diagnosed with heart attack, coronary disease, or stroke. In 2014, there were 57.410 deaths related to major cardiac disease, accounting

Background: Heart failure is a serious progressive disease. It is also a common illness requiring multiple medications and significant self-care behaviors. Self-care behavior is important for patients with heart failure to prevent worsening of the disease. Self-care is an important aspect of non-pharmacological management of heart failure as it comprises key behaviors that have been shown to improve clinical outcomes for patients.

Heart disease is the #1 killer of American women, but many women do not realize they are at risk

As other chronic diseases，heart failure requires the healthcare providers and patients’ joint management. In this study, patients’ self-management behavior was improved by means of healthcare givers providing disease related information and patients actively involving in the implementation of self-management. At the end of this study, three sub-scales of self-care maintenance, self-care management, and self-care confidence were compared at three different time points (admission, discharge, and two weeks after discharge); the scores at the point of two weeks after discharge were higher than at the point of discharge;
